1. Those Lakers teams were stacked
2. Phil Jackson as your coach is obviously a good thing
3. If there’s no Shaq I don’t think Kobe has those rings besides the two he won without him
4. Robert Horry and Derek Fisher that is all

But only Shaq and Peyton Manning get to advertise those Buicks. Kobe’s ads sell better in Europe and Asia, which means Kobe wins the Popularity($) contest. All these guys are way rich. They earned it.

Then MJ23 takes Kobe out back and beats him at 21 blindfolded. Then Kobe can’t take life anymore and flys to China to play ball with all the other failed NBA stars.To be continued…..

4 letters….

S.H.A.Q.

40 points, 24 rebs

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:03:08 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=459728#comment-178146@Kobe – “But ultimately during those years I sacrificed a lot, numbers-wise, to play with him.”

By the same logic, he sacrificed a lot to play with Gasol and Bynum. He should just get an owner to surround him with 4 rebounders and try to jack up 81 points from the 3-point line by himself every night.

I agree – it’s delusional to crow about his 5 rings, and then to act like the guy who got him 3 of those rings was some kind of anchor around his neck.

it was the right decision, paul you said that if kobe cared about rings so much, he wouldn’t have forced shaq out. well like i said he wanted to stay with the lakers, and be the guy, and the lakers in
the end chose kobe over shaq, it was becoming kobe’s team, and kobe vision was to still win titles, but this time as the leading man. somekat, 2004 was the first time kobe wanted to test free agency
and see what was out there, sure everyone just about said that kobe forced shaq out, but like i said
guys, the lakers just couldn’t build the team around a guy that had so many injuries, toe injuries, not
being in shape as often. just wasn’t going to work. which is why dr. buss didn’t give him that extenson, cause it was time to eventually build the team around kobe, and as it turned out, as we all know, was the smart decision.

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:17:58 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=459728#comment-178088Nolan: I agree 100%. Kinda like Cousy with Russell.Or Frazier and Bradley with Reed. I could go on. Its a team game and it used to not matter who was the star. Now its all about who gets the “credit”.
Its sickening. To comment about rings to Shaw, like he was the ONLY reason for him having 5 is pathetic and speaks to the type of idiot he is. Kobe is good, but he is not in a league with the all time greats. He’s more worried about his personal place in history, nor his teams. He’s more worried about being able to “one up”people.,If he cared about titles so much, he wouldn’t have run off Shaq. Had he not done that, they’d have probably won alot more than 5.

Asi: I get that. But you aren’t going to cry, right? There were fools on here saying how it was going to affect their personal lives. Good God. I like players and sports, but not enough to have it affect me personally.

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:46:50 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=459728#comment-178064this line sorta relates to the discussion on that was being had a few days ago in regards to when someone tried to criticize kobe for needing a few more seasons to inevitably pass jordan on the scoring list:

“You can’t expect Michael [Jordan] to play with Wilt [Chamberlain] for his entire career. That’s just not going to work. I had too much talent and too much to showcase.”

i think it would’ve taken jordan a bit longer to get to the point total he is at playing with shaq.

Maybe, maybe when the Raptors had VC and T-Mac, but certainly not when that 81 happened. Doesn’t discount from it, just don’t label that Raptors of 2006 athletic freaks, whose leading scorer in that game was…Mike James. Yes, the guy who’s now a Maverick and probably 70 years old.

And again people Haq had the opportunity to win with Penny Hardaway… Couldn’t get it done… Nick Van Excel, Eddie Jones…. Couldn’t get outdone UNTIL…. Bean Bryant took over the helm in the Backcourt! Ijs Shaq had played with several Good to Great guards yet Kobe has played with only ONE GREAT Big Man… And he still has the edge ring wise!
